Thousands of teenagers are anxiously waiting for their GCSE results, which will be announced tomorrow.

And ahead of the big day, pet charity Blue Cross has shared some advice to the students waiting to learn their next step.

GCSE results day is a stressful time for children and their parents.

If you're looking to take your mind off the stress of results day, the charity is encouraging people to rely on their four-legged friend for a bit of emotional support.

Dogs can help lower stress levels, help people cope with pressured situations and reduce feelings of anxiety. Certain studies have shown that stroking a dog before a stressful task can have a calming influence, while another said a dog's presence is enough to reduce your stress.
